scousers have always said "like" at the end of every sentence

we always used to take the p1ss out of a scouse mate

he would say "I'm starving, like"

we'd say "like what?"

Was in a shop earlier,a group of rowdy teenage girls had gathered & were having a very excitable loud coversation about a young lad that presumably they knew,their conversation went something along the lines of.............

'Did you go to Jim's party? It was like massive'
'I was like going but like couldn't find me nike like'
'Innit,like innit like innit, yo like like innit yo'
'scream........giggle .......scream'
'Hey Kim I like your bike like,innit?'
'Yo massive innit like'

It's often used as a way of conveying what a person would like to have said in a certain situation, but didn't. Without directly lying or misquoting. e.g. 'the effing copper said "Watch your mouth son!". And I'm like, "**k you you fat barsstard".

In hereford where I live a lot of the locals add the word "look" to the end of the sentence.As in "It was a tidy job look" A few times I have asked why and to a man they deny doing it. Its a sort of hereford secret look.

Ukraine or Russian natives use the word "Actually" in their English sentances.
Actually i think "Actually" replaces the words "You know what"

He made a fool of himself then

In fairness scousers have always seemed to use the word "like" ("sound") being the other scouse term ive never heard anywhere else.

Though i think the use of the word "like" is mainly the preserve of that ever growing army of kids,iliterate women,students and young gayers.

think people are confusing the northern use of the word 'like ' with the chav and modernish use of the word ' like ' . like.
